Wubba Wubba Wubba is the chorus of a sing-along "The Monster in the Mirror" written by Christopher Cert and Norman Stiles in 1989 for the children's television series Sesame Street. In September 2002 it was read from a picture book by First Lady Laura Bush, to Big Bird, Elmo, and a group of kids. An annotated publicity still on the internet at the time had Big Bird saying, "We won't bring up Evolution if you don't bring up Dubya's PBS budget cuts."
